Question:
The questioner says: A merchant gave me money to perform a specific good deed he named for me, but I spent it on another deed without his knowledge. I also took my fees for my call with him. Is that permissible for me?
Answer:
No, it is not permissible for you to do that except with his permission. You may not act except in what you were authorized to do. The agent is restricted to the scope of his agency.
